The City of Warsaw started organising volunteering to support the city's refugee activities as early as 25 February. In 2022, there was a great deal of social commitment on the part of Varsovians. A survey carried out by the Office of the City of Warsaw shows that as many as 45.6% of respondents declared their involvement in volunteering in the past year. Such a high result is primarily due to the involvement in supporting refugees from Ukraine arriving in Warsaw. Residents were involved in supporting non-governmental organisations, institutions and many grassroots initiatives, with more than 30,000 people a day receiving assistance from Ukraine.
